Post subject:  My first build

Hello!

I thought i might share some pictures of my first build that i completed a few months ago.
I'm currently working on three more guitars.
I didn´t document the process that well but i hope you enjoy the few pictures i upload anyway!
I´ll upload some more pictures of the finished guitar if you guys want to!

Per Marklund
Sweden

Sitka spruce and EIR
Image
Jointed top
Image
Jointed back
Image
Working on the bracing in my apartment
Image
Thicknessed top, i was stupid enough to cut the soundhole before i did the rosette, but i managed to align it anyway.
Image
Thicknessed back
Image
EIR rosette made of scrap from the back
Image
Another one on the rosette.
Image
Working some more on the bracing
Image
Almost finished top, i scalloped the braces a bit more.
Image
Hanging on the wall, a few pieces missing :)
Image
Shaping the headstock and volute
Image
Sides bent and blocks glued
Image
Top glued, chipped a little when i trimmed it but no worries.
Image
Saying goodbye to the inside!
Image
Back glued
Image
Jumping forward a little bit, just installed the flamed maple binding.
Image
And ebony in the back
Image
i just couldnt resist giving the back a few layers of shellac.
Image
Made the dovetail with a handsaw and chisels
Image
A few more layers and it´s done
Image
Installed frets, a little cleaning and polishing left
Image
And here she is!

Here´s a youtube clip of my friend Fredrik Lundman trying it out. He wanted to trade it for his Martin D-35 Johnny Cash, haha.
I shot the video with my phone so the quality is really bad, but better than nothing i guess.
